It’s good news right. We – created by God and rebelled against God have now been brought back to God by the ministry of Jesus Christ culminating in His death and amazing resurrection. This brings peace between God and us. This brings inner peace. Then it gives a peace between members of the family of […]
Read More Peace … with others (not yet in the Family)The Problem With People: A Personal Perspective Getting on with people isn’t that easy. Although I was brought up in a church environment, I found it very hard to get to know people. This was made harder realising people put on masks to avoid being authentic and vulnerable. My parents moved from one end of […]
Read More Peace … with others (in the Family)Psalm 23 is a familiar scripture to a number of people Christian and non-Christian. The eagle-eyed among you would have noted how my signature incorporates part of the scripture. It is a pleasure to post a song that also is lyrically motivated by the Psalm and remains one of my favourite songs to use to […]
Read More DMCD Songs: You Make Me Lie Down – Integrity MusicOpening Thoughts Where is all this coming from? Well I give an introduction this mini-series here. As well as that, it’s important to point out the book I was reading that inspired it.

I am not talking about those occasional off days you get when for some reasons things haven’t quite clicked and you’re left with a feeling that it’s not good. I am […]
Read More Disillusioned and Reinvigorated: Introducing A Brief Series on PeaceI was reminded recently of this very powerful video. I would strongly recommend you watching it twice. First time for impact and the second time to digest more of how sin manifests itself. The issue with sin is that it can be very easy to get hung up with certain sings and not be aware […]
Read More Talking Point: God Consciousness & Sin AwarenessOne of the things I’m delighted about concerning God is that this script that’s being played out and His plan is not plan B. I’m glad that this isn’t a contingency measure. I’m glad that it was part of the plan and there has been no deviation to the plan and whatever happens there will […]
Read More I Reckon We Can Be ReconciledSome songs I remember because they remind me of growing up. This is one of those songs. Yes it was sung in the local church, but more importantly I remember both my parents singing it with a passion and a reality that still chokes me up today. What my Mum and my Dad took as […]
Read More CD Songs: Each Step I TakeI don’t think anyone in this church tonight who believes in God should feel bad if there are days when they find it very very hard to believe.
